That may be the case for a lot of this summer so far!Katy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977058551772180021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-45086698332297013962012-06-08T19:06:57.600+01:002012-06-08T19:06:57.600+01:00Hi Sue,

A friend told us what to look for and where to look for owls, but we drew a blank until we got the allotment - we tend to go over in the evening when no-one else is around - and almost immediately we saw an owl flying low, following the drainage ditches on the marsh and occasionally swooping to catch it&#39;s prey. He (or she) is around most evenings.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-90439480985502774812012-06-08T13:57:28.964+01:002012-06-08T13:57:28.964+01:00This is the owl that Katy is referring too - a bit...This is the owl that Katy is referring too - a bit of a long distance shot.

On the wherry doing the Billy Bluelight race to Whitlingham the other week there was a barn owl hunting alongside the river just up from Bramerton. As we were doing some slow, repetitive tacking at the time, we got a very good view - what a treat.Katy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977058551772180021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192067374193401627.post-23402520847080213962012-06-06T23:17:32.424+01:002012-06-06T23:17:32.424+01:00We have an allotment backing onto Gillingham marsh...We have an allotment backing onto Gillingham marsh and every evening we are treated to the sight of a barn owl hunting in exactly the same way.
